She followed her mother quietly to the yard, while Mrs. Liu sighed helplessly.
"I don't know what's wrong with your grandmother? She said that she has been dreaming about your grandfather recently. She said that your grandfather didn't have enough to eat, didn't have enough clothes to wear, and had to do heavy work there. She must have been too worried and became ill. Isn't that true?
I couldn't get up from the bed in the morning. She didn't want to tell you originally, and I was a little unsure, so I asked Dazhou to send someone to inform you."
After hearing her mother's words, Su Muer's eyebrows knitted together and her face looked a little ugly.
From this point of view, she was right when she guessed on the road that her grandmother was suffering from a mental illness.
"Mom, after the trial at Yuan Min Palace, I want to go to Northern Xinjiang and see my grandfather and father."
Mrs. Liu shook her head hurriedly when she heard this.
"That's not possible. Northern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from here. How can you go there as a woman? Besides, even if you can go, it's an extremely cold place over there. I'm afraid that if you go there with your life, you won't be able to come back."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu breathed a long sigh of relief again. She may have thought of the suffering her father and the others had suffered there, and felt a little unbearable.
"Mom, don't worry, I will make the arrangements. Although we have always sent money there over the years, we know in our hearts that if we send ten taels, one tael will be considered a lot in the hands of my grandfather, so we can only do it in person.
Go there to feel at ease, after all, our relatives are all there."
"Alas! Your two brothers haven't gotten married yet, and are now in their thirties. And your grandfather is old. I don't know if he can withstand the cold over there. Your father's legs are hurting every day.
I get itchy in winter and I don’t know what to do.”
Mentioning this, her eyes turned red. Not only was her husband there, but also her two sons. How could she not be worried.
Mrs. Su slept until the afternoon before she woke up. She held Su Muer's hand and looked at her with tears streaming down her face.
"Sanya, grandma is fine. Go back quickly. Don't let Yuan Min know. He is about to take the exam. Don't let him be distracted. No matter what, going to the exam room has been his wish for these years. Grandma can't trust him.
hind legs."
"Don't worry, grandma, I'll stay at home with you tonight and come back early tomorrow morning."
"No." Old Madam Su waved her hand to interrupt her, "You should go back now. It's still early and there's still time to walk back. If you come back suddenly, if you don't go back at night, not only Yuan Min, but also that clever little Doudou will do something.
suspicious."
Su Muer knew that what her grandmother said made sense, but she really wanted to stay with her grandmother for a while longer.
But every time she sat for a while, her grandmother's urging would never end.
Helpless, she comforted her grandmother and walked around the chicken farm again. When she saw that everything was normal, she was ready to leave.
As soon as Brother Dazhou handed the horse's reins to her hand, from a distance, he saw Xiao Mo coming on horseback.
"Miss Su, are you going back to the city?"
He walked closer, jumped off his horse, and looked at her dusty.
She looked at him and nodded with a smile, "Go back, General Xiao hasn't left yet?"
"I was just about to leave, so I thought I'd ask you if you were coming back..."
"Thank you for your concern, General Xiao. Then there is General Lao Xiao, and we will go together."
Xiao Mo waved his hand hurriedly, "We are just traveling together. We take care of each other to avoid being lonely on the road."
After saying this, she said hello to Dazhou, climbed on the horse, and the two of them left Sujiazhuang together.
As they walked on the road, Su Muer felt a little heavy. Thinking of her grandmother's appearance, her heart ached tightly.
Xiao Mo perhaps noticed her displeasure and asked with some confusion:
"Miss Su, but your grandmother's condition is not very good?"
She nodded slightly, "She has a heart problem."
After saying this, she suddenly turned sideways and said,
"By the way, General Xiao, how far is Northern Xinjiang from here?"
Xiao Mo pondered for a while and then frowned and said:
"It takes about a month to ride a fast horse, and at least half a year if you walk."
Half a year?
Could it be that when my grandfather and the others went there, they had been on the road for half a year?
Thinking of this, her heart tightened and she continued: "How is the weather over there?"
"It's extremely bad. There's almost no sun all year round and there's snow all year round."
Speaking of this, Xiao Mo suddenly looked up at her, "Are you worried about your grandfather and father?"
She bit her lip and nodded, "Yes, my grandmother is suffering from a heart disease, which requires heart medicine. I am also thinking about my father and the others. I wonder how they are doing now."
When she mentioned her father and the others, she lowered her head a little lonely.
Xiao Mo pondered for a while, then pursed his lips,
"Your father was actually implicated. He is a good official, but he spoke without thinking, which led to his current fate. But I can't guarantee that the emperor will remember his kindness in the future and call him to the capital again."
She smiled bitterly and raised her head. Since the emperor would issue an order to distribute them, how could he recall them again? If he did, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?
Her Su family was not the only one who had been unjustly assigned to a family since ancient times. In the end, no family could fully recover.
Even so, she still has hope in her heart. As long as they can live well, there will be a day when they can come back.
It was already dusk when they arrived in the capital. Xiao Mo sent her to Wutong Lane to speak before turning around and riding away.
Just as she was about to step into Wutong Lane, she felt someone calling her.
Through the faint light, she lowered her eyebrows and saw an unkempt woman tugging at the corner of her clothes. Her spirits became tense and she hurriedly took a few steps back.
"who?"
"Little... miss."
The sound made her frown.
"Azi?"
She looked down at her, "Why are you here?" Her voice was cold and her eyes were full of disdain. Is she doing this again?
Ah Zi looked at her with a grin and smiled, "Miss, Ah Zi came to apologize to you, I'm sorry."
Apologize?
She couldn't help but sneer, didn't she know that this trick was no longer useful to her?
"Azi, I said that your fate is over and what you become in the future has nothing to do with me, so don't come to me anymore."
"Miss."
Just when she was about to lift her legs to leave, she called again.
"Miss, can you just listen to me and say a few words before we leave? I won't embarrass you anymore."
Her voice was so weak that it made people rash. Su Muer lowered her head coldly,
"If you have anything to say, I will tolerate you once and twice, but I will never tolerate you a third time. You will never come back to me again."
She kept her words straight so that when she opened her mouth to beg him later, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
AhZi shook her head directly. She laughed miserably, leaned her head against the wall, and murmured:
"Miss, I'm afraid that my life is not long and I have no chance to return to you."
"What else?" She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand. She had to remind herself all the time that she couldn't be soft-hearted to her. She might be playing a repetitive role.
"I regret it. If I hadn't taken the wrong path, could I be like Aqiu, staying by my lady's side all day long, and being carefree every day? It would be great."
When she said this, she raised her head, and the tears in her eyes fell silently from her face.
